    Yeah vodoodad nice work on that bad ass war tank :>
    One thing maybe you can subdivide it once more and clean some edges and make them even crisper!
    for example on the front bumper :>
    Keep it going buddy,

    Experimenting with textures. This is another first attempt. Never used textures in Zbrush before.

    Thanks guys!

    I'm just bursting with first attempts today. First time using fibermesh this time. What was I waiting for? I have no idea...

    Thanks, Faircat.

    This is the direction I'm going with this. There's a ton of tweaking to do and I still have a bit more modeling to add to the final image.

    Thanks Corey!

    More progress. I decided I didn't like the texture for the surface and I think it gives more of an illusion of being "deep sea" without it. The submarine started out as a doodle in shadowbox and kind of evolved into a sort of bio-steampunk-scifi looking thing.

    Hi VoodooDad

    I like the second from bottom piece posted above...Has a magical quality and element about it with what's happening in the sky..like air turning into water and exploding at the same time..an atmospheric burst..
    Could even have that center of the burst at the top of the composition as a visual shot of star studded deep space..blackish blue in color...Might add an extra dimention to the scene..Just me thing out loud again..
    Might tone down that FiberMesh grass in the forground..maybe add some areas with smaller thickness in amonst the thicker pieces, just for variation and to enhance the illussion of depth..overlapping ect..
    Anyway, Great to see you starting to experiment with that FiberMesh...Great New feature and addition to ZBRUSH..Lots and Lots of possibilities for it's use..

    Thanks, Glenn! I'm probably going to take this one in a dozen different directions. Initially, I really wanted to do an underwater scene with the simple little sub I created, but you've given me a few ideas to work on.

    I spent some time fiddling with my tank tonight and kind of like this one. Still needs a lot of tuning but I like the way it's turning out.

    Thanks Kenny.

    I darkened up and did some more editing on the wrecked buildings. I also relit and rerendered the tank so I could do a better cut/paste into the image.
